Better Days

I was born inside fences

It only increased my defenses

No one thought about the consequences

On a child's mind

They said beyond the fence is the enemy

If I'll be good enough god will save me

But I saw the devil with my own my eyes

He broke into my heart time after time

Took my dignity

Made a mess and blamed me

But I, I know

I know better days will come

And I, I know

I know better days will come

Too many years I've been covering for

Things that a child is not suppose to hold

No one was there to understand

And mom I know you did your best

They broke your throne

Left you unrest

Through it all you made me feel blessed

They shut you up

Time after time

Took your dignity

Entered Zion still never felt free

But I, I know

I know better days will come

And I, I know

I know better days will come

They shut you up

Time after time (time after time)

Took our dignity

Entered Zion still never felt free

But I, I know

I know better days will come

And I, I know

I know better days will come (better days, better-better days)

Ah I, I know

I know better days will come

And I, I know (I know I know)

I know better days will come

Hmmm, I know better days will come
